A thought.

Is it better for someone to go towards the light, or for others to bring light to the dark places?

(Note: When I say 'go towards the light' I'm not talking about death. I'm not /that/ downhearted. This is more philosophical in scope.)

I see nothing at all wrong with helping someone as much as possible. And I don't at all think anyone should try to be an island. Making getting into the light easier for someone by helping with some of the symptoms is great. But I don't think that a person can really get out of it until they are able to get themselves out by making whatever changes are needed.

Nobody is ever able to come out of the darkness alone, and nobody is ever able to change by themselves without the transformative effect of help from others.
